If you could only have ONE pinball, for PLAYING[not collecting], which would it be?
This one .. Can't post photos .. IPDB link only.

The only other one I want is the one I go to bed with every night. She's such a sexy accommodating lady. You should all be jealous. She keeps me from having the "same thing" all the time.
White Water. One of the best players out there. Extremely addictive ruleset.
Otherwise, it would be Attack From Mars.
I haven't played it very long, just got my basement finished Friday. The pins were in storage while they were constructing and I bought it right when they started so I only worked on it during the weekends. Still working out the bugs. It seems to be very broad with like a dozen modes. The modes are pretty straight forward eg hit this lane, ramp or target over and over to complete. There are 3 video modes. Still haven't escaped in the mine cart yet. I'm not sure how many missions have prerequisites like LOTR does. One day I'll read the rules in the Manual to form a strategy. The 6 ball multiball is crazy. Very fun game though.
This is the fun with pinball collecting, yes? Specifically that machines/titles illicit differing responses from players in regards to both enjoyment and game room durability! Fantastic!
By the way, while I voted for TZ I must admit that WW is also very good and has, in my opinion, some of the best, relaxing music as well as light show (assuming latest home ROM) of the pinball machines I have had experience with.
Oh, yes, sorry. WW can stand for Waterworld, Whirlwind, or White Water but it is my understanding that WW is generally referring to White Water. Perhaps, though, I should use its alternate moniker, which is WH20. I am sorry about that.
P.S.- I am honored to have made it to the "Pinhead" level, but as a Piscean, Pinball Addict sounds so much more fun!
robin I really like challenging pins and I have a chance to get the Shadow for around 900€ (cleaned, new bulbs and rubbers) and fully working. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to think about buying one...
No, GET IT IceHill. 4 ramps, 1 magnet, video play, and a top 20 pin. Its a great pinball I wish I hung onto mine.
Definitely! What are you still doing behind your computer? Go get it!
No seriously, 900 is a nice price and it really is a great pinball machine.
I am just going to be bias.
MM, because when the 'poof' of smoke goes away and its in my basement all by itself, I will sell it to get 3 or 4 more machines!!!
I like THE SHADOW have to say 2 UP for that pinball for SURE!
Not trying to talk video game talk, but I hate the 1-10 rating system?!!!
Ok, scrap that last comment by me. I just decided I would take the Family Guy. The humour might wear off, but for now this is my fav game
I still love the ol' 1979 Gottlieb Genie. It's mostly for sentimental reasons as my friends and I used to play the sh!t out of one at the pizza place back in high school after soccer matches. I dig the super-wides (Embryon, anyone?). A Genie is about to become my first table--it arrives next weekend. It isn't the most exciting table, it doesn't have a multi-ball or habitrails and it's easy to score on but the nostalgia factor makes up for those "shortcomings" for me.
Stern Lightning, loads of targets, 9 drop targets, great nudging with those slingshots, fast and exciting, great rules, 2 bonus systems, moving extra ball award, 2 levels, 3 ball multiball and plays different everytime I play it.
Soo many shots and soo much action followed and bonus time and a nice big bonus count!
I've Played and owned soo many,, this should be EASY,, but it's NOT.. I like WH20 , Great theme
and I Never did Beat it.. IJ (w) , I Play it at my friend's house , kinda slow , more of a Quest.
The Shadow is @ another friend's house , It's cool to and Weird. Crazzy diverter's with the extra F-button's. TOTAN , I played it @ my Pin mechanic's shop , I loved the theme and music, but it felt Cheap, having owned ToM and gett-n tired of it , I was told TOTAN would be the same..
Now AFM , my close by friend has it to , It has slight cab- fade but it's SOLID.. AFM it is !!!
Killer Music and the Best DMD Animation's in Pinball . Just Not Alot of shot's..
And the WH20 in the Pict- , was the 1st that i owned.. I traded a FH for it..
